Yesterday was my 1 year AuDHD anniversary!

1 year since the most life-changing realization ever. My resting heart rate dropped by ~10 points after I figured it out.

Knowing this about myself has given me so much peace & confidence. It's given me even more compassion for myself and others. I advocate for my needs now, and I have better boundaries.

Every day I marvel at how amazing we ND folks are, and how much we bring to the world.

I so appreciate this community!

One year! I bet it feels simultaneously much shorter than a year and much longer.

Self compassion really is key for this process

@dyani @actuallyautistic
the community is pretty diverse and supportive.

I was schocked to find it that way,
I wouldn’t say innate, but it appeared very organic.I mean it’s not like it’s an echo chamber, we have many differences, but I think it helps us all to understand those perspectives if it doesn’t overwhelm us.

Happy anniversary. ☺️

It seems like such a short time ago but so much has happened for all of us.
Thanks for everything you do! 🥳☺️😉
